Modern homes today are heavily insulated with foil backed insulations, so whether you have a brand new apartment or penthouse in the city centre, an older basement flat or a cosy semi detached home in the suburbs, the likelihood of having no mobile signal in your home is very high due to the building insulation standard we expect in our homes in 2024. The simple solution to overcome this lack of mobile signal is a mobile signal booster for home. Let’s talk through some of the options for improving signal in your home.
One of the main questions to consider is whether you need just one network or all networks. While this is less relevant today, with more legal options on the market, this was important, as up until recently, the only manufacturer that was legal, Cel-fi, sells individual amplifiers for each network. So if you needed Vodafone you needed one mobile signal booster for the home, but if you needed all networks you had to have four signal boosters installed into the home at a cost of approximately £5,000. Nowadays Huaptec are leading the way for all network home amplifiers that come in cheaper than a single Cel-fi unit, making it the most popular brand of amplifiers for people searching for a mobile signal booster for the home.
The second question you need to ask when choosing a mobile signal booster for the home is do you want it for just voice in which case you just need 900Mhz, 1800Mhz and 2100Mhz. For clients who want 4G you need to add the 800Mhz band and for those needing 5G you need at least the 700Mhz band. The 2600Mhz frequency would be ideal but as it is presently not legal in the UK, it’s not an option to have in your home signal booster.
Once you decide on the amplifier brand you want, simply choose the model with the right bands for your needs and you should be ready to go for having excellent signal in your home using a mobile signal booster. You can see the full range of Huaptec home signal boosters for sale here, that are all Ofcom compliant in the UK.
One last important point is that while there are hundreds of amplifiers for sale on Amazon and Google shopping, as well as some less than reputable sites, they are totally legal to sell in the UK but are highly illegal to broadcast within the UK. This is because the device itself passess all electrical quality tests, but does not meet broadcasting requirements in the UK, set out by Ofcom. The cheapest legal amplifier that we are aware of in the UK is the Huaptec 3s, a voice only amplifier for home and small apartments.
